In an instant, a surge of immense magical power flooded the area, the chaotic tide of spells altering the surrounding space.

【Reverse Gravity】

The space completely inverted with a single focal point at its center.

The monsters charging forward froze mid-motion, then began to fall upward.

It was worth noting that the Polar Night Demon Tower was nearly a hundred meters tall, with even the lowest floor being more than ten meters high.

A series of dull thuds followed as the monsters slammed hard against the ceiling, splattering blood and flesh everywhere. Some monsters at the very top were crushed into paste under the extreme pressure.

As the magic surge dissipated, the monsters that had fallen onto the ceiling began plummeting back down.

The sound of impact echoed again, accompanied by the shrieks of draconic monsters. Those initially cushioned by others now became the unlucky ones crushed at the bottom.

Just like that, the hundreds of draconic monsters blocking their way were completely wiped out.

[Your spell unleashed an untamed magical surge.]

[Roll result: 87-88, you cast 【Reverse Gravity】.]

Flying Witch had no idea what the wild magic surge had done, nor did she understand what the 【Reverse Gravity】 spell was, but she knew they had won this battle.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she let out a deep breath and patted her chest with a jubilant grin.

“Whew, good thing I’m just that skilled.”

“.”

Beside her, Charlotte stood slack-jawed at the earth-shattering scene.

After a long silence, he slowly uttered two words and gave a thumbs-up.

“Im-pressive.”

Charlotte’s face showed a mix of relief and bitter laughter.

“Why don’t you take over as guild leader instead?”

After a year of dedicated practice, meticulously collecting magic scrolls, and mastering low-circle spells to create dazzling combinations against monsters, all his efforts had been overshadowed by the “Lucky Goddess” accidentally triggering a wild surge that annihilated everything.

Charlotte suddenly felt like a hardworking man returning home with ten thousand gold, only to find his cousin’s lottery win of five million.

He was on the verge of losing it.

“Guild Leader, I really don’t know what happened—I wiped them all out with one move!”

Flying Witch sheepishly stuck out her tongue, scratching her head like an innocent magical girl, a far cry from the figure who had just decimated an entire horde of monsters.

“Forget it. Let’s move on and keep exploring.”

“If not for Witch, we’d have been wiped out at the entrance.”

Charlotte exhaled deeply, his stiff smile barely masking the exhaustion in his heart.

The group carefully stepped over the piles of monster corpses, even dispatching the few draconic monsters still clinging to life. Charlotte handled these stragglers with ruthless efficiency.

“Not dead yet? Let me fix that!”

He casually launched a Scorching Ray at the head of a struggling draconic terror wolf, then smashed its skull with his staff, as though venting some pent-up frustration. The sight made Wind Chime break out in cold sweat.

The members of 【Magic Coins】 reached Valenna’s cabin before heading toward the top floor of the Polar Night Demon Tower.

“Just reaching the top is a major win for us.”

“We’ll make a killing with those quest items!”

Wind Chime exclaimed excitedly.

Even he hadn’t expected things to go this smoothly. Flying Witch’s surge had cast a high-level spell that allowed them to clear the Death Hallway without a single casualty.

However, as they stepped onto the gravity platform, black claws tore through the fabric of space.

Emerging from a jagged rift, clad in a black robe, was Wagner.

“You meddlesome rats!”

His voice was tinged with rage, an emotion rare for the already insane sorcerer.

Ever since Mantou’s team had invaded, this tower—once considered a “zone of death” by mortals—had become a popular destination for player incursions. Initially intrigued by these peculiar humans, Wagner had planned to capture a few for experiments.

But this was already the thirteenth group. The incessant intrusions had left him no time to conduct any experiments, throwing all his plans into chaos.

Moreover, he had discovered these so-called “players,” known as “Fallen Stars” to the northerners, seemed capable of infinite resurrection. Upon death, their bodies and belongings dissolved into faint light particles within half an hour, a phenomenon even Wagner couldn’t prevent or trace.

He had even experimented by severing limbs and extracting flesh from players, but those materials still disappeared after the player’s death. Not even soul-binding spells could stop their resurrection via their mysterious data panels.

Wind Chime exclaimed, “What the hell? This boss isn’t following the script!”

“Wasn’t he supposed to wait for us in the Draconic Lands? Why’s he coming straight to us?”

Charlotte gritted his teeth. “Doesn’t matter, fight him! Kill this bastard!”

The seven spellcasters unleashed a barrage of acid, fire, and ice spells, their dazzling magic striking Wagner.

Yet the black robe was surrounded by an invisible dark barrier, absorbing the attacks like stones sinking into water.

“These futile spells…”

“Are you mocking me? Mocking the great Dragon-Mad Black Mage?”

A twisted smile spread across Wagner’s face.

【Finger of Death】

Another sixth-circle spell!

A sphere of dark negative energy shot from his finger, striking Charlotte.

The shield around Charlotte crumbled like paper under the overwhelming force. The black energy greedily invaded his body, draining his life force and reducing him to a withered husk in mere moments.

This was absolute level suppression; against this archmage, the apprentice-level mages of 【Magic Coins】 had no chance of resisting.

Wind Chime shouted, “Witch, it’s your turn!”

Trembling after witnessing Charlotte’s gruesome demise, Flying Witch gripped her staff tightly and cast the simplest Fire Bolt.

As if responding to her call, the chaotic surge of wild magic rose again, unleashing a torrent of arcane energy.

“Oh? A magical surge?”

Amusement flickered in Wagner’s eyes.

But in the next moment, with a resounding “bang,” a pot of flowers appeared on the ground, and Flying Witch vanished.

[Roll result: 41-42, you transform into a potted plant until your next turn begins. While in plant form, you are incapacitated and vulnerable to all damage.]

“.”

Not only were her teammates stunned into silence, but even Wagner burst into incredulous laughter.

“Are you trying to mock me?”
